It was a heart-wrenching moment for the family of the 33-year-old father when tragedy struck in the early hours of Friday. According to local authorities, Alvarado was driving at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle on a curve, causing him to veer off the road and crash into a grassy embankment. Emergency responders pronounced him dead just after 2:30 a.m., leaving a void that is felt deeply in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. The Bexar County Medical Examiner confirmed that he succumbed to injuries resulting from the crash. Thankfully, no other vehicles were involved in the incident.
